CAUSE
One question. One truth.
“Why is the minimum support price controversial?”
The Minimum Support Price (MSP) controversy is driven by the government's use of the A2+FL cost formula, which excludes costs like land rent. This causes MSPs to fall short of farmers' actual expenses and fuels demands for the C2+50% formula.

CURRENT STATE
The A2+FL cost formula results in farmer dissatisfaction and protests, as many receive prices below their costs, especially for crops like paddy. Regional disparities exacerbate this, with Punjab and Haryana benefiting more than eastern states.
